Vantaggi

No dress code is the biggest pro. Good Health Benefits. You are around other young people just getting their careers started.

Svantaggi

I was so proud to say that I work here at first. They say you get unlimited time off but that's not even close. The daily deal business has so many competitors now. As a sales person you are going into markets where merchants are so sick of getting calls from Groupon and its competitors. In training, they will sell you on how cool the company is and it is cool but if you are going into sales it is HORRIBLE! Slowly turning into a boiler room atmosphere with live updates on how many calls you have made. No longer can take a consultative approach but rather squeeze every last dollar out of merchants. Truth is, if you go into sales you're stuck there. There are a lot of young people there with no management experience and majored in subjects like philosophy. The divisional sales managers are arrogant and just sit on g chat all day acting like they are so busy but really aren't. They sold Groupon when it was so easy to sell. You're not selling anything, you're begging merchants to work with Groupon. Out of the 800 salespeople you will probably find about 5% who are actually happy to be selling for Groupon.

Vantaggi

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Svantaggi

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
